Per Jensen - Legacy Collection: Brothers in Arms 2oz
Stunning Goodness
This blend is a masterpiece of delicious smoothness with flavors I'm still picking and figuring out. Considering the number of ingredients packed into this flavor powerhouse, well, "They got everything here from a diddled-eyed joe to damned if I know." I swear I sense a topping or casing, getting hints of coconut. But that's probably just me. I've never met a blend, I don't like, but this one is a must-have.
Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding 2oz
Magically Delicious!
Load lightly, sip slow and low, this blend will not let you down, if a fan of English/Balkans. Deeply rich and luxuriously smooth. Just wow.
G. L. Pease - Windjammer 2oz
Banger!
The topping blends all tobaccos into a smooth and delicious experience on the dessert side, the cavendish imparting its creaminess, but without overt sweetness. Like others have noted, easy and cool burning. An all around pleasure, no doubt.
G. L. Pease - Fillmore 8oz
Perique Piquancy
It's official, as a newbie I have my first daily. Not all day, but once per, at least. Never lets me down, especially in my P 338. As my tastes get used to this blend, and maybe as it mellows in the ever-emptying jar, I'm getting hints of spice cake, or ginger snaps, sans the overt sweetness and with a hint of sourness. Plus, I find this blend and format facilitates easy sipping and is an aromatic party of that slightly sour spice cake adjacency all around the head. Oh my, I'm gooning again, aren't I? Straight up a bad-ass baccy.
G. L. Pease - JackKnife Plug 2oz
Winner
New tin with only 4 months on it, freshly popped, sliced, fully rubbed and aired out for 15 minutes. Trad 3 layer pack in a Ser Jacopo Rhodesian. Divinely smooth, rich and savory from top to bottom with thick and enticing wisps of smoke that invites one to engage olfactorily. A big motivation to learn the retrohale. Two more tins in the basket to put some aging on. Update: Retrohale mastered. It's interesting the flavor it brings out, but snorking is more effective, honestly. Although snorking does introduce the smoke to the lungs.
G. L. Pease - Quiet Nights 2oz
Character Studies
If this blend were a film, it would be a character study of each part, leading and supporting. Grandma's soap starts this story, but with a slow sipping cadence, and once the latakia, virginias and perique settle in, I'm getting notes of cocoa and cinnamon wafting about my face, the orientals playing a complementary role. I find the hotter one smoke's this blend, the stronger the orientals announce their presence.
Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning 8oz
Good Way to Start the Day
Hey, besides the nic hit which has a bit of backbone, this is an easy packing and simply enjoyable blend. While not at the top of my VAPer list, it’s a nice companion to a relaxed morning, and easy going for an all day. Update: After going through a time smoking more "refined" VAPers, as I'm about to write off BM, I have a bowl that reminds me of why this is such an enjoyable blend. It's extremely accessible with pronounced character, especially for those who like to lean in to Perique.
Peter Stokkebye - PS403 Luxury Bullseye Flake
Gooning Unavoidable
This one will send you on a micro-sipping trance state, chasing yum - IOW, promised flavors delivered plentifully, alluring inside and outside of head. Disclaimer: I haven't met a blend I can't like, yet. But this one is a no-brainer.
Peterson - Irish Flake 50g
Refined Potency
Balanced, easy smoking, but rich; and while potent, if you refrain from gooning with gentle sips (maybe a rest & relight at some point, if you're reeling), a rewarding engagement. Disclaimer: I haven't met a blend I can't like...yet. But this one is an easy call.
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1931 Flake 1.76oz
Gateway Blend to VAPers (For myself)
Newbie here. This blend started my journey - Down the road of VAPers, for some reason, considering it is technically a Burley blend. Go figure. Always keep some in supply and return to it often (I've finished a tin within a month, and re-upped with 2 more). Tin note - Dark dried fruit, honey. Smoke - Rich, bright, nutty, slightly sweet creaminess. Retrohale - Thick, sweet-ish breadiness. Bask in it!
